Ingredients

1 garlic clove, halved

Olive oil for brushing plus 4 tablespoons, divided

2 cups chopped onions

Coarse kosher salt

2 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, very thinly sliced (I use my mandoline and it makes it a snap to do quickly and uniformly - always use the guard...please)

1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese, divided

3 tablespoons drained capers (I use heaping tablespoons because I love capers)

2 cups low-salt chicken broth

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Rub 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish with cut side of garlic clove. Brush dish with olive oil.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, sprinkle with coarse salt, and sauté until soft and beginning to brown, stirring frequently, about 13 minutes.

Arrange 1/3 of potatoes in even layer in prepared dish. Sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper. Scatter half of onions over. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano and 1 tablespoon capers.

Repeat layering with half of remaining potatoes, coarse salt and pepper, remaining onions, 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano, and 1 tablespoon capers.

Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Arrange remaining potato slices over. Sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper and remaining 1 tablespoon capers.

Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Pour chicken broth over. Press down firmly on potatoes to compact gratin.

Cover gratin tightly with foil and bake until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour 20 minutes.

Uncover and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Pecorino Romano.

Bake gratin uncovered until cheese is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

Let gratin stand 10 minutes at room temperature before serving.
